Curistan v Times Newspapers Ltd – WLR Daily
Curistan v Times Newspapers Ltd [2008] EWCA Civ 432; [2008] WLR (D) 135
“The qualified privilege which attached to a ‘fair and accurate’ report of parliamentary proceedings was not necessarily lost because of the addition of extraneous non-privileged material in the same article. Where an article consisted in part only of passages entitled to such privilege, the meaning of the non-privileged passages was to be ascertained on the basis that the privileged passages merely provided the context in which the other statements were made, and the repetition rule, under which for the purpose of libel law a hearsay statement was the same as a direct statement, had no application to the privileged passages.”

Bone v Newham London Borough Council [2008] EWCA Civ 435; [2008] WLR (D) 134
“Where an employment tribunal had held that a complaint of direct sex discrimination and victimisation or constructive dismissal had not been proved, it was not open to the tribunal subsequently to amend its decision to find that her dismissal had been an act of direct sex discrimination and victimisation. Where the Employment Appeal Tribunal concluded that the tribunal had erred in law in so amending its decision, it was inappropriate for the EAT simply to allow the appeal and leave the original and unamended decision to stand.”

R (Warden and Fellows of Winchester College and another) v Hampshire County Council – WLR Daily
“The formal requirements governing the making of an application to modify a definitive map and statement under s 53(5) of, and para 3 of Sch 14 to, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which were contained in para 1 of Sch 14, had to be adhered to strictly. Where such an application was found to be invalid, certain rights ostensibly extinguished under s 67(1) of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 were not apt to be saved by virtue of s 67(3) of the 2006 Act since the latter provision was predicated upon a valid application.”
